times during the year. In the spring of

PENSACOLA, FLA, Feb. S.-The Louis
vile and Nashville railroad to-day brought
in a new force of labOTers to discharge
and handle guanO. The new men are
composed OF whites and cOlored. They
were brought in early this morning. The

down on the MuscOgee wharf of the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad, and the men
were put to work. The EscambIa Rifles,
under command of Capt. W. L. Williams,
and a deputatiOn of citizens, about fifty
in number, were formed across the foot
OF the wharf, and all communication was
cut off between the labOrers and the strik-
ers. During the day the strikers,
numbering several hundred, under
white flag, proceeded on the
wharf as far as the guards and asked to
be allowed to communicate with the
laborers. This being refused they peace
ably dispersed, some few of them, how
ever, making angry threats.
Henry Booth, a special postal inspec-
tor, is In the city, INSPECTING it with
view to introducing the free delivery

Freight Moving Much More Rapid ~
STRIKERS Going HaCk.

Strikers Going Back. =,
NEW YORK, Feb. S.-There was con-
siderable activity on the piers OF the
river front this morning, and freight
was being moved with mucn MORE dis
patch than on any day since the strike
began. The time that has elapsed since
the lOngshOremen and freight handlers
quit work has enabled the railroad and
steamship companies TO select, and
in some instances train sufficient men to
keep freight moving steadily along; be-
sides many of the old freight handlers
and longshoremen are coming back to
work, not at the places where they are
known, but where they are least likely TO
be known. Along the North river front
there is decided improvement in the
business of the railroad and steamship
companies and freight was more easily
handled to-day. The streets leading to
the piers are no longer chOked up with
trucks. A number of muscular country
men have been put to work, who are learn

agents are turning applicants away.

A COLLISION AT DUBOIS.
ONE OF THE ENGINEERS SAID
TO BE ASLEEP.

The Crash Sounds the Death KneH of a
Negro Stealing a Ride and Results in
Terrible Injuries to the Fireman and
Engineer of the Train Said to Be at
Fault.
MACON, GA, Feb. s.-A terrible col
'lision between two freight trains on the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad occurred this morning about
O'clock at Dubois, about forty miles south
of Macon, in which a negro was killed,
is. g. Williams, the engineer on the north
bound train, had his shoulder dlslocated,
three ribs broken, and was otherwise
bruised and cut, and fireman john Car
Aroll had his left leg so badly crushed as to
Require amputation. Both engines and
several cars were totally wrecked. An
extra freight train coming north received
instructions at Eastman to meet
the south-bound regular train at
Dubois and take the sue
track. The regular train arrived at the
Station, and stopped on the main line. In
a little while the extra came plunRlng
along the track with speed which IN
dictated that there was no one to govern
the throttle, and in an instant the engines
were together with terrible crash,
causing death and destruction. The &C
cident caused delay of about four hours
to the regular passenger trains. The
negro killed was named Nose Johnson,
who ii is thought was stealing ride.
Fireman Carroll was BROUGHT to Macon.
Engineer Williams was lett at Dubois,
and is too seriously hurt to make state
ment as TO the cause OF the accident.
The matter will be investigated, when 1t
80 - will bA nr0VpD.
1t is reported that the engineer on the
north bound train was asleep. The men
on the south bound train leaped of in
time to escape injury.
